Yeah I know, they play with feet instead of hands, but nevertheless I'm super-hyped to watch as many games as possible.

What about you ? Thoughts about possible surprises ? Which outsider will step up ? Which favourite will disappoint (except Belgium of course, who'll go down in quarters to german hands as always) ?

Just saw Uruguay - Egypt and the south americans can truly be happy with this win. Egypt fought nicely, even if Uruguay had by far the best opportunities. Looking forward to seeing group D in action (Argentina, Nigeria, Island and Croatia) ! And Saudi Arabia has nothing to do in such a competition, they are so weak that is even embarrassing.

If I had to bet, I'd say we'll make it to quarter finals but no further. We'll have to play a top team then, and we never win the likes of Brazil, Germany, and so on.

That being said, first we have to play seriously against Tunisia and England, and win against a group H team which already won't be easy (Poland, Colombia or Senegal are equally hard to play, don't think Japan will make it through).

So far slightly disappointed with south american teams (Uruguay, Peru, Argentina). France should be a very strong team but they failed to impress against Australia.

Looking forward to seeing Brazil and Germany in action though, as well as England. Maybe they'll shine at last in a great competition ?

First major issue in this World Cup : why didn't review team point out the penalty on Marcus Berg caused by Boateng in the Germany - Sweden game ??? This was a clear-cut case, Boateng should have been sent off and Sweden up by one and this would have been a completely different game.

So far I didn't have issues with refeeres, and the review team worked nicely ... so far. This was a great big changer, and in favor of a great team (of course).

Yet I reckon that Germany did deserve a win, but still, that's not fair.

Auf wiedersehen, Deutschland ...

Very big surprise with Germany out in the first round, this is a big upset for the title holder, and once again the curse of the world championn strikes : remember France in 2002, Italy in 2010, and Spain 2014.
